let x-2=a
so, (x-2) (x-3) (x-4) (x-5)+2=a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)+2.....(1)
now a(a+3)(a+1)(a+2)=(a2+3a)(a2+3a+2)
let a2+3a=k
so the eqn. becomes k(k+2)=k2+2k
so putting the value of a2+3a=k in (1)
a(a+1)(a+2)(a+3)+2=k2+2k+2
=(k+1)2+1 which is always positive.

Draw the graph and observe. The graph for the function is always positive. :)
